The construction industry in developing countries like Vietnam, which incorporates small and medium construction enterprises, is typically more prone to disputes and contract dispute-related lawsuits. A dispute may occur at any time in the life cycle of the project. It is sometimes solved with the intermediation of a lawyer or directly by stakeholders. Understanding the causes of disputes in a construction project not only improves the efficiency of a company but also increases the success of projects. This study was carried out using a questionnaire survey at construction projects in Ho Chi Minh City. Sample data with 117 observations were analyzed to find the disputing factors in construction projects: diversity of working style among the parties; reluctance to work; and poor teamwork. Correlation coefficient on a rank of factors between design consultant and contractor; Design consultant and project owners are positively correlated. The Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) analysis identified six groups of factors in construction disputes: cooperation, technology, economics, productivity, information, and behavior. The findings are useful for enterprise practice and provide participants with an overview of sources of dispute. Thus, a more complete risk management plan can be formulated, which will accelerate project progress and improve the likelihood of success.

Nitrogen (N) impact directly to growth and yield of plants. N loss has occurred every where in the world, it is not only serious problem in agriculture but also in environment. N loss can be caused by erosion, runoff, leaching or by many other factors. This experiment was conducted in green house as modeling with pots. The pot is 50 cm of height, 30 cm of diameter and with a tap at near the bottom for drainage. All pots were fill up of soil as natural horizontal. We use 3 types of soil as paddy soil, upland soil and sandy upland soil. The plant materials were used such as: hot Pepper, Soybean and Rye. We conducted 3 treatments of fertilizer in this experiment with N: 5; 10; 20kg/10a. Every treatment was recycling with 3 times of all drained water. The uptakes of plant nutrients at the first cycle were low and with small amount, almost nutrient were kept in soil and leaching by drained water. Every recycled nutrients was reduced in content of drained water but plant increasing absorbability, it means nutrient use efficiency has been improved. In this experiment the total N reduction after the first cycle was 50% and decreased to 10% after the third recycle. Nutrient loss by leaching depends on the soil type and recycling time. In this experiment, leaching capacity of sandy upland soil was higher than paddy soil and lowest was upland soil. The nutrient contents of drained water of sandy upland soil were more than 25mg at the 3rd recycle, it is still high compare with paddy soil and upland soil. If only use fertilizer for 1st cycle almost fertilizer would be leached to underground water or by the path way as a cause of environmental pollution and furthermore we could save application amount of N fertilizer.
